Commonly: The top turbo/smaller turbo is referred to as the secondary turbo. The bottom /larger turbo is referred to as the primary turbo.
Air is pulled through the air cleaner, into the large primary turbo, compressed, sent up a "cold pipe" to the inlet of the top/smaller/secondary turbo, compressed some more, then sent out/down another cold pipe to the CAC=Charge Air Cooler also incorrectly known as an intercooler, then fed into the engine through the air horn into the intake manifold where it is distributed into each cylinder as it passed through two intake valves per cylinder.
Commonly: Exhaust is fed from the exhaust manifold directly into the smaller/top/secondary turbo, then out the turbine housing into a "hot pipe" 3-4" in size and into the larger/lower/primary turbo's turbine housing inlet.

OK! Dumb question! What exactly are you measuring when it come to 75mm etc? I know, I know I should know this but I'm having a brain cramp! LOL

Makes me want towing twins, even on a mostly stock truck
